We’re now fully into the “prepare for release” mode, so we’ve almost only worked on bug fixing and performance. We’ve decided to aim for October 24 for the full Pretty Scary Update. Here’s this week’s changelog:

Minor terrain additions for the witch

Flatworld configuration now allows you to generate trees, strongholds etc

A number of new NBT tags for items (intended for custom map makers)

The pick block action now works on items

Pressing the 1-9 hotkeys while hovering over an item will put that item into the inventory bar

The left-click action will no longer open doors, pull levers, push buttons or open trapdoors. Use the right mouse button!

Firespread has been slightly nerfed again to prevent infinitely spreading fires
